[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a freshman at Yale, and is loving every minute of her experience. When we drove up in the fall, a large group of fellow Morse College upperclassmen were there to welcome our daughter, including the Dean of the college. The students unloaded our car and took every bag and suitcase up many, many flights of stairs to my daughter's dorm room. Yale students do this for the freshmen at every residential college. That gesture set the tone for what has been an amazing, wonderful year for her.[/quote] 11:52 here. I just have to say, if the welcome is very important to you, Columbia was good at that, too. Every freshman has to attend an orientation week, and upperclassmen sign up to help with it. Nobody carried her bags, but they help load everybody's stuff into big blue bins that you wheel into the elevators. A freshman dorm like John Jay has 12 stories, maybe more, so carrying everyone's bags upstairs was probably a little much to ask.[/quote]
